Hi guys, this is something I was thinking of last night... Unfortunately my Paint skills couldn't really capture what I was imagining but I think ye can get the gist of what I mean! So my idea for the logo would include: - cork colours (although as a Kerry girl I have no great attachment to them!) - A double helix unwinding and replicating in a fork to form a rough "F" shape - A dark green segment of inserted ssDNA attached with staples/old school stitches as a play on the Frankenscience aspect of things. It could be a way of taking something that is used as a fearmongering tactic and making it our own... - It could be kept mostly simple and so would translate well to different sizes. What do ye think? Áine On 30 June 2014 09:40, Cathal Garvey <cathalgarvey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Very true re:white.
